The Techniques that Magic Forgot. (A Reintroduction into Mind Games and Bluffing)
something was bothering me. I could not quite put my finger on it, but the nagging sensation would not leave my mind. It took me a few days and I realized how underutilized Bluffing is in magic

The Beauty of Talk in Magic
I’ve found a play group that opened me up to the higher levels of competitive Magic and I credit them to the profound changes they’ve had on my game play and deck building.

How I qualified for Nationals!
g to get in, or back in, to the game, and thought I would check out the environment. I was looking for a deck to play at the upcoming 2008 regionals in Dallas, Tx. I was told that the best deck in the format was faeries. Faeries?!?

Jesus Deck
The whole reason for the name is the Daybreak Coronet picture actually looks like Jesus. Other than that it's fun to say after winning a match that Jesus sucked the life out of you.

Budget Building 6 - Burn Redux
I revisit and revamp the original Burn Baby Burn deck list to incorporate Shadowmoor cards, and in turn, take it quite a different direction than the original list. Final deck price with sideboard: $38

Living in the shadows of money rares
I’ve found in the last couple of years that it’s easy to lose sight of great rares that can easily own a table just because higher dollar cards are being dropped.

Playing Red in Standard
The major difference between this deck and most other aggressive decks of its ilk though is the extremely low creature count, relying almost completely on burn spells.

Budget Building: Episode 5 - RG Beats
A deck with less than $5 worth of rares manages to eke out an 8-2 record. A good deck to consider if you're on a shoe-string budget.

Now you feel it, now you don't
there is one change that has now driven a rift between me and the game I love - boredom. Every time I play Magic, I have to fight a growing sense of tedium that comes with the game; it just doesn't seem fun anymore.

Card Advantage
It took me awhile to figure out where my blue mage roots came from. Then it hit me. Drawing cards is awesome!

Multiplayer politics - Good Cop
Some players describe this as suicidal, but once you sit in on a couple of 5 or 6 player games, you may realize the importance of this strategy.

Budget Building: Episode 4 - Artifice
Mishra treads the dark path of combo, in Extended, with only $70. A good starting point for those tempted to dip into something older than Standard.

Budget Building: Episode 3 - Elementals
If you were going to list the budget cards that appear in a lot of tourney decks, four of the ones towards the top would be: Shriekmaw, Mulldrifter, Crib Swap, and Nameless Inversion.

Synergy, Strategy, and Stand-Alone
Magic has come a long way over the years, and while I don't know if such practices were ever accepted, you have to know when to hold em and when to fold them so to speak.
